A panel of five librarians from academic and public librarianship will share advice and best practices for publishing articles and books in the field of library science.
A Path to Getting Published
Jennifer A. DeVito, Director of Access & User Services, Stony Brook University Libraries
The prospect of researching and writing for publication can be intimidating. For many of us, it’s a requirement to further our career and for some it’s a way to share knowledge and give back to the profession. While there isn’t one “right way” to getting academic work published, there are some ways that writers can identify topics on which to write, organize projects, locate sources for publication, and, importantly, finish and submit articles for publication.
Making Your Writing Discoverable
Clara Y. Tran, Head, Science and Engineering, Stony Brook University Libraries
The advance of technology makes it much easier to promote and organize your newly-published articles online. Sharing your new publication link on social media is one great way to improve the visibility of your work. Evidently, the rapid growth and development of researcher networking systems and social networking platforms plays an important role in improving the connection of researchers academically and socially. This presentation will discuss some useful tools used in researcher networking systems such as ORCID and Google Scholar profiles, and social networking platforms such as Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn, that can maximize your article’s visibility.
